WASHINGTON—Jan 11, 2019—President Donald Trump on Friday promised changes in the way the U.S. handles temporary visas that allow American companies to bring high-tech and other skilled workers into the U.S.

In a tweet, Trump said those who hold the temporary H1-B visas can “rest assured” because changes were coming that will bring “both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship.”

The president’s comments came amid a bitter Washington fight over funding for his border wall that has forced a partial government shutdown.
